- Summary:
- The ultimate guide for using graphic novels in any middle school or high school classroom, this book considers how the graphic novel format can support critical thinking and help reach disciplinary goals in history, English language arts, science, math, fine arts, and other subjects. Whether teachers are new to graphic novels or have been working with them for years, this book will help improve instruction. The authors explain how to teach with graphic novels, focusing on how disciplinary literacy can inform graphic novel instruction; how readers should consider text, image, and the intersection of the two when reading a graphic novel; and how graphic novels can encourage critical response and interdisciplinary instruction. Teachers who are serious about using graphic novels effectively in the classroom will find this book invaluable. Book jacket.
